Title: allow linking to Diaspora's scaled-down images

Diaspora's default is to allow image uploads up to 4 MB in size. When Friendica receives a Diaspora post with a photo, it displays the full-size image scaled down to 640 pixels on a side maximum. For several 4 MB images, this can cause the Network page to load and scroll slowly and unevenly.

Diaspora displays a scaled-down version of the image in its stream which is a maximum of 700 pixels on a side. Displaying this image instead of the full-size image on the Network page makes loading and scrolling much faster.

A link to the full-size image is still preserved.
